cial season has been rather late in be- 

 ginning this year, but funerals are keep- 

 ing this store busy. 



Victor L. Podesta, of Podesta & Bal- 

 docchi, is expected back soon from a 

 trip to. Europe. He has been traveling 

 extensively, and visiting his father and 

 other relatives at Genoa. Mr. Podesta 

 writes that while in Florence, Italy, he 

 ordered marble which will be brought 

 here to decorate the store on Grant ave- 

 nue. 



Julius Eppstein, at the St. Francis, 

 has had a number of luncheons and din- 

 ners, which have kept his decorative de- 

 partment busy. 



The Art Floral Co, has an interesting 

 display of bon voyage and birthday 

 baskets in its windows. AH these 

 baskets have flowers arranged with the 

 fruit in attractive color schemes. An- 

 other timely bit of display consisted of 

 Halloween pumpkins filled with flowers. 



Weddings and funerals, especially the 

 latter, have been making business good 

 for the MacRorie-McLaren Co. There 

 have been a good many funerals re-

Holland bulbs have arrived in excel- 

 lent shape this year. The deliveries 

 have been prompt and florists and seed 

 dealers express satisfaction with the 

 quality of the stock. 



C. Kooyman, of C. Kooyman & Co., 

 states that his bulbs from Holland and 

 from Japan are the finest lots he has 

 ever received and are selling in a satis- 

 factory manner. The demand for bulbs 

 in California seems to be constantly in- 

 creasing. People with home gardens 

 are beginning to grow their own bulbous 

 flowers quite extensively. 



The Charles C. Navlet Co. has had a 

 remarkable window display of dahlias, 

 which attracted much attention. The 

 signs in the window draw attention to 

 the dahlia seeds that the firm is sell- 

 ing. "We have something that we con- 

 sider new," stated Mr. Navlet. "We 

 ourselves have been hybridizing and 

 now have our own varieties. Dahlias 

 from these seeds grow to immense size 

 without disbudding. We have been 

 working on these dahlias for several 

 years, but this is the first time we have 

 had the seeds for sale." 



The annual banquet of, the California 

 Dahlia Society was held Saturday eve-
